TEHRAN, Jun. 21 :– The US does not want to see a conflict between Israel and Lebanon escalate, the US State Department said Thursday.

“We don’t want to see the conflict escalate,” spokesman Matt Miller said during a news conference, adding that Washington continues to pursue a diplomatic resolution.

His remarks came one day after Israeli war minister Yoav Gallant said the situation on the northern border of occupied Palestine with Lebanon would change either through a political settlement or a wide-scale military operation.

New tensions emerged this week between President Joe Biden’s administration and Benjamin Netanyahu over the Israeli premier’s criticism of US weapons deliveries.
